Summary

This study tests a group-based parent training program called SPACE-Pain, originally developed for anxiety, to see if it is feasible and acceptable for parents of children aged 10-17 with chronic pain. The program teaches parents to reduce accommodation while staying warm and supportive. The study will enroll 48 parent-child pairs and measure session attendance, satisfaction, and changes in child function and pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions - Pain (SPACE) behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If this works, it could provide a practical, group-based program to help parents support children with chronic pain, potentially reducing pain-related disability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 48 participants. It does not yet test whether the program actually reduces pain or improves function, so results may not be conclusive.
